What a score, what a game, what a performance....well done guys. Outplayed a decent team in every aspect of the game.......so many had a great game and Dante will be grateful to each one of you for the shift because he now has massive bragging rights as a couple of his school team mates played for Hamilton yesterday.
What was great to see was the mix of play...some big forward runs with the ball but when space was spotted, some great moving of the ball wide (how many tries did we score like that?!) and some wonderful chasing to box kicks that despite windy condition were of excellent standard. With this variety in your game, you are showing how well you are growing as rugby players!
The sequence:
1st half
H - CQP 0-5 Oscar
H - CQP 0-10 Inam
H - CQP 0-15 Lucas
H - CQP 0-20 Sean
H - CQP 0-27 Lucas + Dante
2nd half
H - CQP 7-27
H - CQP 7-34 Spencer + Dante
H - CQP 7-41 Lucas + Dante
H - CQP 12-41
H - CQP 12-48 Stuart W + Dante
H - CQP 12-55 Scott H + Dante
Difficult to pick a MoM - you all played well, from the forward all working hard, running with the ball and supporting mates like it should be done and being intelligent in knowing when to ruck (and winning a few penalties) and when not to, to the wingers/gazelles who ran and pirouetted and sprung back on their feet defying gravity when chasing kicks, from Spencer whose vision and shifting of the ball rather than running into contact opened Hamilton defence so many times to Oscar whose strength and handing off is second to none and to Lucas whose dancing with the ball is a joy to watch, but my shout goes to the bench.....the second half started a bit lethargically but when the guys came in, they gave the team the shock that was needed and put things right again.....what a luxury for a team to have guys coming in and making the same impact to that of the guys starting!
You are such a good team that is a shame there is only one competitive game left but don't forget - that is for some silverware and you guys deserve something after a season like this one.
Put some good shift into the next few training and pump yourself up for that game....you gotta get something out of this year
Ciao for now and forza Barbarians
